Every time the car appears, an unfortunate event occurs in this quiet town of Penrose.
There are those who spend their time serving others; the Meeting Shop endures through the ages. Hitler is a magnificent painter who, from time to time, used to visit us. And why that peculiar obsession with cookies? Why the nails? Why the Punisher? Who knows about Rivers? Why does the gravedigger have such a strange farm?
Inspector Beatriz Jiménez Martínez was driving peacefully in her white convertible when she veered off the road and ended up in Penrose, a strange place where time is not as it should be. Amid murders, intrigues, the powerful family, priests, private clinics, the uncle found in the river, the underground labyrinth, and the Hitler Bar, lies a well-woven plot—but by whom?
A backdrop as absurd as it is shocking, from which Beatriz will want to escape, but first she must solve the crimes and mysteries assigned to her by the judge. Between the absurd and the surreal lies the truth—a truth based on scientific studies. Although here, in Penrose, nothing is what it seems, and everything has a reason…
THE SHELTER OF TIME
When is the second part of this trilogy coming out?
Losers
No one knows what became of John Pittiss, save for two inmates at the Dham Psychiatric Penitentiary. It is this mystery that draws Lucile Duchâteau Avril, the field doctor in charge, into a series of sessions aimed at uncovering his fate. Yet, what Carlos Muela Jiménez is about to recount—based on years of stories told to him by his brother-in-law, Pepe Baco Navarro—seems like yet another madness. One that spirals toward a near future, where a failed writer, Lucas Henry Storm Johnson—a former hitman who is suicidal and claims to have lost everything to artificial intelligence—decides, once again, to turn to his jester in order to eliminate the very person who hired him for his last job. To do so, he must not only find this man but also reckon with a previous assignment that still casts its shadow over him.
